It's broken because LLDB doesn't yet handle function descriptors, and I haven't yet made the effort (ENOTIME) to fix that. I think our eventual goal is to move even BE to ELFv2 on FreeBSD, to do away with function descriptors, and it should then Just Work, as powerpc (32-bit) works fine for most cases right now. That said, if anyone knows enough to add function descriptor knowledge to LLDB, I think that's the only missing piece, or the biggest missing piece. I do want to finish the effort, since I started it 3.5 years ago, but I do need help with understanding that ABI detail and how it fits with LLDB. https://reviews.llvm.org/D41702 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
